I am slowly gaining more confidence when it comes to going out “just for fun” vs. out of necessity with my 3 little munchkins. Make no mistake- 2 grocery trips ago involved EVERYONE needing to do a number 2– the baby took care of that twice.Yesterday at the fabric store the boys needed a total of 2 pee breaks, a poop and the baby needed a diaper change. We were there for the longest hour of my life. I digress- perhaps I am just growing more accepting of my fate. {If you are so out of this phase, or not a parent. I am sorry…. for mentioning it}
So, I have been rekindling the enjoyment of perusing a thrift store here and there. A few weeks prior to coming ill with the black lung {zoolander anyone?} I spotted a darling little copper kettle. My kids may have been playing unattended in the kids toy area… I know I know- it is NOT a play space. The donated toys are FOR SALE not for testing or touching. But, my 7 year old was keeping everyone in check.
I bought this little diddy for about $3. Isn’t she lovely?
I really don’t own much copper- but I do quite enjoy the look of crisp white and copper pots. The blue and white hand painted details on the handle and lid are too sweet. I don’t know if I will actually boil water other then perhaps to use as a air freshener at christmas as copper pots leach copper into whatever you cook in them…. but who said I buy things because they are practical?
The cooler months ahead will cause me to bring my attention indoors. Our little old awkward kitchen is calling my name. While we can’t do a full reno yet {which is what this kitchen needs} I can make it a little more functional and pretty in the mean time…. don’t mind the missing paint to the left of the stove. ahem. #rearrangequeenprobs
Tomorrow, I’ll being sharing with you the latest change in our kitchen. Things are looking a little different in there these days….
Miss Ash
your outings some like they’re mostly in the bathroom, funny to read, I’m sure not that funny when it’s happening ?
very sweet copper pot, looking forward to seeing the changes in the kitchen …❤️
